One of the foods I often cook is rice. My One-Pot Chicken and Rice dish is one of the easiest. It is easy to cook and just anything could be added. I used loads of peppers. Peppers are known for their abundance of vitamin C.

Peppers have Vitamin B6 and folates. Red peppers have been praised for aiding night vision. Red peppers have loads of antioxidants. To top it all, red peppers help in burning more calories.

Apart from red peppers, I used onions, chilli, mixed herbs and chicken of course. Just like I said earlier, this recipe is easily adaptable, it is what you make of it.

Chicken is one of the meats I cannot have enough of. This pasta meal takes just 10 minutes to cook. I used shell shaped pasta. It is not only delicious, it makes cooking enjoyable. Along with my chicken and pasta, I also used bell peppers, onions, tomatoes and mushroom.

I find these ingredients easy to source and cook. You can use any type of mushroom or you can even use any vegetable of your choice. For me, bell pepper and onions are a must in my cooking. Bell pepper supply dose of vitamin C and the beauty pepper add to food cannot be ignored. (more…)

Potato has been tagged wrongly due to its starchy composition and its nutritional benefits have been overlooked. However, potato is packed with vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals that ward off disease and aid healthy lifestyles.

According to Medical News Today “Potatoes contain folate, which plays a role in DNA synthesis and repair, thus preventing the formation of cancer cells from mutations in the DNA” http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles.

Potato supplies our body with vitamin B6, a good source of potassium, copper, vitamin C, manganese, phosphorus, niacin, dietary fibre, and pantothenic acid. It is known to lower blood pressure.

Potato skin is also very good. Potato Goodness on her website https://www.potatogoodness.com/nutrition/ says “One medium potato with skin provides 620 milligrammes or 18% of the recommended daily value (DV) of potassium per serving and is considered one of the best foods with potassium. Skin- on potatoes rank highest for foods with potassium and are among the top 20 most frequently consumed raw vegetables and fruits. Potassium is a mineral that is part of every body cell. It helps regulate fluids and mineral balance in and out of cells and in doing so helps maintain normal blood pressure. Potassium is also vital for transmitting nerve impulses or signals, and in helping muscles contract”. (more…)
